Energy efficiency: An investment that pays you back

By improving your home's energy efficiency, you can save on energy bills, make your home more comfortable and even increase your house's value. In fact, many energy efficiency improvements pay for themselves quickly in energy savings.

In order to qualify for a rebate, improvements must be performed by a Duke Energy Progress prequalified contractor, with the exception of the window AC unit, which may be installed by the customer.
